Frequently asked

You're probably
wondering…

The honest answers to the things people actually ask. Can't find yours? There's a form at the bottom that goes straight to a human.

01

The basics

Do I need to know what I’m doing?+
Not even a little. The platform walks you through everything. If you can fill out a form and pick a t-shirt color, you’re overqualified.
What does Merchously actually handle?+
Product setup, SKU management, design support, pricing guidance, channels, fulfillment, and ongoing optimization. Basically the entire merch operation minus being your brand.
How is this different from a print-on-demand site?+
POD is a fulfillment method. Merchously is the full operating system around it — catalog, pricing, channels, design, intelligence — with POD and bulk as fulfillment options behind the scenes.
Do I own my store and customers?+
Completely. It’s your brand, your storefront, your customer data. We’re the engine, not the owner.
02

Pricing & billing

Is there a setup fee?+
No. Your subscription covers everything. Sign up and start building the same day.
Can I upgrade or downgrade later?+
Anytime. Upgrade immediately, downgrade at the end of your cycle. No contracts, no penalties, no guilt trips.
What happens if I go over my limits?+
The platform tells you before you hit a wall. Add capacity with an add-on or bump your plan — never a surprise overage charge.
Does fulfillment cost extra?+
Fulfillment is billed per-order at-cost by your production partner — same way it works anywhere else. The subscription covers the platform and tooling.
Do you take a cut of sales?+
No revenue share. You pay the subscription, you keep your revenue.
03

Setup & onboarding

How long does setup actually take?+
Onboarding is ~30 minutes. Most programs are live within 48 hours — the time varies mostly by how fast you upload designs.
What do I need before I start?+
A brand, an audience, and a rough idea of what you want to sell. The assistant handles the rest — including suggesting product mix if you don’t know where to start.
Can I bring my existing store?+
Yes — we connect to Shopify, TikTok Shop, and custom storefronts. On Pro and Business plans you can run multiple channels at once.
04

Products & design

What products can I sell?+
Apparel (tees, hoodies, crewnecks, caps), accessories (totes, stickers, mugs, posters), and on Business plans we unlock custom and premium categories.
I don’t have designs yet. Can you help?+
Yes. Template support is on every plan. Pro gives you 1 premium design credit per month; Business gives you 3. Extra credits can be bought à la carte.
What file formats do you accept?+
PNG, JPG, SVG, AI, PSD. The platform checks resolution, color mode, and print-safe zones before you can launch — so nothing ships pixelated.
05

Fulfillment

Who actually prints and ships?+
A vetted network of production partners across the US, EU, and APAC. We route each order to the fastest, highest-rated partner for that product and destination.
How long does shipping take?+
Typical: 2–5 business days production, 2–7 days shipping. Express options available at checkout.
Do you ship internationally?+
Yes — 40+ countries. Automatic tax/duty handling and multi-currency pricing at checkout.
What about returns and issues?+
Defects and production issues are covered by the partner network. The platform surfaces exceptions, and our support team handles edge cases so you don’t have to.
06

Support & data

Is there help if I get stuck?+
Yes — the AI guides you in real time, and our support team is reachable by email on every plan, chat on Pro+, and priority + dedicated CSM on Business and White-Glove.
What happens to my data if I cancel?+
You can export everything — catalog, customers, orders, assets — anytime. We keep your account in read-only mode for 90 days after cancellation.
Is my brand data used to train AI?+
No. Your catalog, designs, and customer data are never used to train any model — yours or anyone else’s.
